Title: Bought a family truckster
Post by: Whitey on April 10, 2015, 07:42:23 PM: Well it's official. The old lady is knocked up so I had to get a family friendly vehicle. The wife wanted an MDX but I thought they looked like a minivan with a chrome beak. So we ended up getting a Cadillac SRX AWD Performance addition. At least now I can do Seinfeld references all day.

I never thought I would like an SUV but it's actually pretty cool to drive. Has all the bells and whistles, setup for drunk drivers where the seats vibrate if you start veering left or right and has the cooled glove box

My cousin bough one of those small gm suvs (don't recall the name of it but it was fwd until tires slipped and then kick in the rear tires) but it was the chevy version of what u just got. Pretty much fell apart. But then again he pretty much tears all his cars up.

But I like the look of the white and chrome. Like a classy coke mobile.

Post by: Whitey on April 10, 2015, 08:26:20 PM: I had an 93' Oldsmobile DD. It rides like a Cadillac and I like it. Whatever breaks I'll fix it. I figured I'd get some shit when I posted this but bring it on. I've had enough turbo Honda's to not be afraid of reliability issues. :mexi:

That Hybrid would change your mind when experience the use of the rear traction motor, insta-torque, and have have pissed of a few moded Diesels. :noel:
